swim through the fires to stay in this world

Okay, so in one of the ZILLION top 5 question and answer session running around on my flist (and seriously, I don't check my flist for a couple of days and I'm at skip=300, my god you people type like maniacs), the_sun_is_up  asked okroginator  for her Top Five Ships That Make Me Feel Like Kind of a Sicko for Shipping.

Which was such a great question that I just had to answer it for myself (I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes.)

Snape/Hermione (Harry Potter)

First of all, all the actual teacher/student power differential that pairings like Kakashi/Sakura avoid are SO FREAKING present with Snape/Hermione. Plus, he's such a bastard.

Nathan/Shilo (Repo: The Genetic Opera)

He's her father. Enough said.

Winry/Roy (Fullmetal Alchemist).

And when I say 'Winry/Roy' I mean anime Winry/Roy where he's the one who executed her parents and she discovers this and is trembling in Gracia's living room and crying and going 'that is so... that is so...' because she's not about to make Gracia's life harder?

Harper/Tolliver (The Harper Connely series)

They were raised as step-siblings, were basically the parents of their blended family, and now travel together using Harper's supernatural abilities to find out how people died. The fact that it's canon doesn't make it not deliciously twisted.

Haruhi/Kyouya (Ouran)

Thanks, beach episode, for making what had been a perfectly awesome ship suddenly horribly problematic.

There was a het porn challenge over in 

jeneb 's lj with some good stuff.

I particularly liked:

Fluid, Max/Alec

Bargains, Sarah/Jareth 

Last Man On Earth, Haruhi/Kyouya 

A Claire/Chane snippet

Do you want to know what is really, really annoying?

Finding a full, 100 icons of Kyouya icons for an iconfiend100 claim - good icons, mind you- with one pairing icon for just about every couple for him. Him with each of the twins, him with Mori, him and Haruhi's dad, beacoup icons with him and Tamaki.

Not. One. Single. Icon. With. Haruhi. 

In fact, there is not one single icon of him with anyone with tits - no Haruhi, not Renge, no Eclair, and I'm sure if Haruhi's dad had actually had real boobs, he wouldn't be in an icon with Kyoua either.

*is bitter*

I've been watching Ouran for the past couple of days, and now I have such a craving for strawberry shortcake.

With whipcream, and fresh strawberries, and spongy-sweet cake....

*whimper*

I saw the second episode of Death Note (which was awesome) and when talking with my friend bluesidefics afterward I discovered that the voice actor who does Light on Death Note is also (crack alert!) the voice of Tamaki, the president of the Ouran High School Host Club. (The mind boggles, doesn't it?)

A lovely ljer has made icons exploring this strange twist of fandom here.
